| 20080229393 | Method and apparatus for access security services - One embodiment disclosed relates to a method for a switch to respond to a new client. A new client is detected at a port of the switch. The switch temporarily assigns the port to be an untagged member of a virtual local area network (VLAN) which is configured for unauthorized clients. Initialization services are provided to the new client via the unauthorized-client VLAN. The new client may be authenticated by way of an authentication session using the unauthorized-client VLAN. If the new client is authenticated, then the untagged membership of the port in the unauthorized-client VLAN is dropped, and the port is assigned to be an untagged member of a specified VLAN. | 09-18-2008 |
| 20080265915 | METHOD OF DETECTING A NETWORK CABLING CHANGE - A system and method of detecting a network cabling change comprises measuring cable parameters of a cable to create a baseline signature of the cable and storing the baseline signature in a memory. The system and method is operable to detect a cable change based upon a comparison of the stored baseline signature and a subsequent cable measurement. A network device operable to perform the above method comprises a physical layer device that transmits signals into a coupled cable and receives return signals from the cable, a cable diagnostic module that measures cable parameters, a memory operable to store a baseline cable signature, and a controlling system that compares subsequently measured cable parameters to the baseline cable signatures to detect a cable change. | 10-30-2008 |
| 20080267179 | Packet processing - Network devices, systems, and methods are provided for packet processing. One network device includes a network chip including logic and a number of network ports for the device for receiving and transmitting packets therefrom. The logic is operable to group a number of ports into a membership group based on a criteria, and define a filter index in association with a network packet to indicate the membership group. | 10-30-2008 |
| 20110007746 | Establishing Network Quality of Service for a Virtual Machine - A system and method for implementing a VM to identify a data packet for transmission, the data packet including a QoS the data packet is to receive as compared to another QoS that another data packet is to receive. The system and method further includes a SNIC to pull the data packet from the VM based upon the QoS the data packet is to receive. The system and method may also include a link scheduler module to transmit the data packet based upon the QoS the data packet is to receive. The system and method may also include a receiver to receive a management instruction from a network management device, the management instruction to dictate the QoS the data packet is to receive based upon a SLA. | 01-13-2011 |
| 20110125949 | Routing packet from first virtual machine to second virtual machine of a computing device - A networking packet is to be sent from a first virtual machine of a computing device to a second virtual machine of the computing device. A hardware network interface controller (NIC) of the computing device is to determine whether the networking packet is to be routed from the first virtual machine to the second virtual machine in accordance with a first approach or a second approach, based upon one or more considerations regarding a state of the computing device. The hardware NIC is then to control routing of the networking packet in accordance with the first approach or the second approach. | 05-26-2011 |
| 20130336284 | CONTROLLING COMMUNICATION OF DATA FOR DIFFERENT USER PERSONAS - Data for a first persona of a user of an electronic device is communicated in a first access network, according to a first agreement between the user and a first service provider of the first access network. Data for a second, different persona of the user is communicated in the first access network, according to a second, different agreement. | 12-19-2013 |
| 20130346583 | NETWORK VIRTUALIZATION - Embodiments of the present disclosure may include methods, systems, and computer readable media with executable instructions. An example method for network virtualization can include providing, by a datacenter ( | 12-26-2013 |

| 20140032743 | SELECTING EQUIPMENT ASSOCIATED WITH PROVIDER ENTITIES FOR A CLIENT REQUEST - In response to a request of a client device, an intermediary system selects from among equipment associated with respective provider entities, where the selecting is based on habitual information associated with a user of the client device. A task of the request is caused to be performed on the selected equipment. | 01-30-2014 |
| 20140105215 | CONVERTING ADDRESSES FOR NODES OF A DATA CENTER NETWORK INTO COMPACT IDENTIFIERS FOR DETERMINING FLOW KEYS FOR RECEIVED DATA PACKETS - A network switch handles a data packet by determining a plurality of address items. An identifier is determined that is singularly associated with each address item in the set, the identifier having fewer bits than the associated address item. A flow key for the packet using (i) at least some of the plurality of fields, and (ii) the identifier associated with each address item in the set, and not the associated address item. | 04-17-2014 |
| 20140247718 | Reducing TCP Timeouts due to Incast Collapse at a Network Switch - A network switch for reducing TCP timeouts due to incast collapse is disclosed. The network switch has a plurality of buffers for storing network packets for at least one sender server. An incast buffer management component in the network switch allocates a buffer in the plurality of hullers to store an incast notification packet, the incast notification packet indicating one or mote network packets that have been dropped by the network switch. The network switch also includes an incast notification component for forwarding the incast notification packet to a destination server with an incast notification packet specific header. | 09-04-2014 |
| 20140355523 | INITIALIZING NETWORK ADVERTISEMENTS FROM PROBE REQUESTS - A probe request from a wireless station can cause the access point to contact a roaming enablement service and alter the services accessible through the access point. The roaming enablement service can identify preferred services of the wireless station and mediate automated negotiations between the access point and a service provider to determine whether the access point may provide a service from the service provider. Upon successful negotiations, the brokerage service can enable the access point to provide access to the preferred services. | 12-04-2014 |
